§47-7-605.


    A.  Every owner or operator of a motor vehicle who operates the
vehicle or permits it to be operated in this state when no security
exists as required by this title, or any person who receives a
deferred sentence, forfeits a bond or is convicted in any state or
municipal court for failure to carry a security verification form,
shall be subject to suspension of his driving privilege and
registrations of any motor vehicle not covered by security.  Such
suspension shall remain in effect until payment of the fees provided
for in Section 6-212 of this title, and proof of security is furnished
to the Department which complies with the requirements of Section 7-
601 of this title.  Suspension under this section shall be effective
upon the Department giving notice pursuant to Section 2-116 of this
title that the owner or operator is without security.  Any suspended
person failing to voluntarily relinquish his driver license or
registration to the Department within sixty (60) days of receipt of
said notice shall pay a fee of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) in addition to
the fees provided for in Section 6-212 of this title.  If a person
furnishes proof to the satisfaction of the Department that security
was in effect at the time of the alleged offense, the Department shall
vacate the suspension order and shall not require the filing of a
certificate of insurance nor either of the above fees.
    B.  The Department may rely upon an abstract which indicates a
charge and the imposition of a deferred sentence pending compliance
with the Compulsory Insurance Law, Section 7-600 et seq. of this
title, or an abstract of conviction or a notice of bond forfeiture
from any court of competent jurisdiction, which indicates that the
person was either convicted, or failed to appear upon a charge of
failure to carry a security verification form or the lack of security,
indicated by "No Security Form", "No Insurance" or other such term
indicating lack of security.  The Department may continue to rely on
such abstract or notice unless proof is submitted from the issuing
court clerk which indicates that the abstract or notice was issued in
error, or was not related to a violation of the Compulsory Insurance
Law or a security verification form as required by Chapter 7 of this
title or by municipal ordinance.
    C.  If a nonresident's driving privilege or registration is
suspended pursuant to subsection A of this section, the Department
shall transmit a certified copy of the record of such action to the
official or officials in charge of the issuance of licenses and
registration certificates in the state in which such nonresident
resides.
